Well it’s San Diego Comic Con (SDCC) week and as you know, it will be a huge arts and entertainment explosion. This page will serve as a ‘Cheat Sheet’ for some highlights of great artists and prints to check out. This page will be hopefully be updated as the week progresses as I will also be attending SDCC! Enjoy!

So if you plan on being at the SDCC this week, I’m sure that many of you will be interested in seeing what prints will be available there. If you’ve been to SDCC, you’ll know that it’s a virtual saturation of the senses. So many things to see, so many lines to wait in, and of course PRINTS! This post is a bit of a summary in ‘quick-view’ format of some highlights that I know will be at the SDCC and I recommend you check out. I’ll try and update it as things develop, but I’ll be lost in the madness of SDCC this week as well. Well, here it goes:

Today, Mondo unveiled some of their posters that will be featured at the upcoming SDCC. The biggest change this time around is that some of their posters will be pre-sold online before the convention. This is to cut down heavy traffic and overall craziness that accompanied the Mondo booth last year. For the other dozen or so Mondo releases, instead of randomly tweeting the sale when it comes available and causing a mad stampede, they will have a daily schedule for you guys to check out showing the times of releases. I commend Mondo for the steps they have taken this year and really look forward to another great year at SDCC. Who’s going? 🙂

Mondo kicks off the official opening day of the San Diego Comic Con 2012 with the great “Princess Mononoke” by Olly Moss. It is a 20″ x 36″ Screenprint available in a regular and variant editions. As an SDCC exclusive, it sold out with the quickness. Crowds at the Mondo Booth (#437) were pretty dense today as Mondo continues to blaze new trails and push new boundaries in the movie poster world.

Mondo will be debuting “The Dark Knight Rises” by Jock tomorrow (7/12) at the San Diego Comic Con. It is a 24″ x 36″ Screenprint, limited edition of 375, and cost $45. Mondo is at Booth #437 so keep an eye on their Twitter-feed for the on-sale announcement.

In addition, there will be a variant with an edition of 350, that features the villains from the whole trilogy. That will NOT be for sale – Warner Bros will be handing that out for fan appreciation. You can score this poster by attending the Dark Knight Rises Hometown Screening Giveaway Event here at Comic-Con. In anticipation of the July 20th release of The Dark Knight Rises, Warner Bros. Pictures is announcing a special giveaway event at San Diego Comic-Con. 250 of the poster seen below by Jock will be given away as part of the prizing at that special event.

Kevin Tong just announced his new prints for H.G. Wells’ books: “The War of the Worlds” and “The Time Machine”. These prints will be debuted at his booth (504) at the San Diego Comic Con starting Thursday, July 12th (Or the day before if you come on preview night). They look great! See pics below for details. Any remaining prints and sets will be available for sale on his website soon after Comic Con International is over.

"The War of the Worlds" by Kevin Tong. 18" x 24" 3-color Screenprint. Ed of 200 S/N. $40
